Responsible AI Charter

1. Our Principles

• —Fairness: We actively work to identify and reduce bias in AI outputs. Protected characteristics are never used as ranking factors.
• —Transparency: We disclose when AI is being used and provide explainability on request.
• —Accountability: Humans remain in control of all hiring decisions. AI assists, never decides.
• —Privacy by Design: AI systems are built with data minimization and privacy protection from the ground up.
• —Continuous Improvement: We review AI performance and update models and policies regularly.

2. Regulatory Alignment

• —PIPEDA (Canada): AI data processing complies with consent, purpose limitation, and accountability requirements.
• —Canadian Human Rights Act: AI matching does not discriminate on protected grounds.
• —GDPR (EU): GDPR-ready architecture for EU residents including lawful basis, data subject rights, and SCCs.
• —Emerging AI Governance: We monitor the Canadian AI and Data Act (AIDA) and will adapt as regulations evolve.

3. Algorithmic Bias Mitigation

• —Regular audits of AI match score distributions across demographic proxies.
• —Input feature review to exclude or neutralize potentially discriminatory signals.
• —Ongoing monitoring for disparate impact patterns.
• —Feedback mechanisms for users to report perceived bias.

4. Data Governance

• —Personal data used for AI matching is processed under strict access controls.
• —We do not train custom AI models on LynxHire user data.
• —AI inference is performed at request time; outputs are not permanently stored beyond operational necessity.
• —Subprocessor (Anthropic) is bound by data processing agreements.

5. Human Oversight

Every AI feature on LynxHire is designed as a decision support tool, not a decision-making authority. Employers must review AI match scores critically and make independent hiring assessments. We provide explainability on request to support informed human oversight.
